The coefficient of permeability below a dam is 4m/day. The water on the upstream side is 20m higher than on the downstream side. To estimate the seepage below the dam, a flownet was graphically drawn such that the number of potential drops Nd=10 and number of flow channels Nf=4. The base of the dam is founded 1m below the ground. Between the heel and the toe of the dam, a distance of 30m, there are 8 potential drops. Evaluate the seepage flow per meter width of the dam in liters per minute. Determine the uplift pressure at the heel of the dam in kPa. Determine the uplift pressure at the toe of the dam in kPa.

Water flows uniformly in a rectangular concrete open channel that is 10 m wide at a depth of 3m. The channel slope is 0.0025. Using n = 0.013. Find the velocity, flow rate and the boundary shear stress.
A trapezoidal channel with sidewalls of 60 degrees has a bottom width of 4 m at total depth of 5 m and has a constant bedslope of 0.005. A flow of 40 m3/s fills the channel to a depth of 3.5 m, the maximum for normal operation. Downstream a topographic constriction requires that the channel be rectangular with a maximum width of 4 m. Assuming no changes in materials and no energy losses, estimate the depth in the downstream rectangular section and recommend a total depth for the rectangular channel.
